rat picspam

It's been ages since I posted photos of my rats, and it's just not right for my journal to miss out on pet picture spam for this long. *g*


This is Ignatz eating pasta (he edged away from the camera, obviously worrying about the noodle, that's why he's in the far corner of the cage and the light isn't great):


This is Ignatz grabbing his share of the scrambled eggs:


And Emil enjoying his (scrambled eggs are their favorite food ever):


Another one of Ignatz:


Here I try to hold Emil back from the camera so that he'd remain in photographing distance, but he'd rather investigate. Or possibly beg for food:


Krümel looking cute while he grooms himself:



Here is a series of Ignatz and Krümel playing with each other:

Yeah. And the best thing is, most pet rats have an even enough temperament that you can just pick them up and cuddle them without protest on their part (though bribery with food always helps to make it more popular). Krümel even loves belly rubs. He'll lie next to me on my bed, and turns on his back to get his belly rubbed. It's adorable.
